    Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey. Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46) Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21) Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46) Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59) Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics? Originally Aired on 07-27-2026

    After a much-needed summer break, Weaponized has returned with a broad view and deep dive into an astonishing flood of UFO-UAP related news. Journalists and social media personalities who cover UFO topics have dropped story after story based on increasingly dramatic events, including revelations about alien bodies, reverse engineering programs, secret briefings of the President, highly organized and reportedly successful "luring" operations conducted by the US military, and conflicting agendas among multiple federal agencies, including AARO, ODNI, CIA, and the FBI. Witnesses, whistleblowers, and the public must be wondering if this summer-long onslaught of UFO news is part of a plan to "flood the zone" with so many UFO-related claims that the general public might become bored with the subject altogether. In this episode, Jeremy and George recap recent developments, address the latest release of government UFO files and videos, evaluate what appears to be growing rifts between different federal agencies, and respond to a jam-packed summer of over-the-top assertions.

    Brian Burke got into corrections in his early twenties, spent four years working inside the New York state prison system, and then spent twenty-nine years as a New York court officer — experiencing the full spectrum of what the American justice system looks like from the person responsible for maintaining order in the room where it all happens. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what four years in the New York state prison system taught him, what twenty-nine years as a court officer — the juries, the defendants, the prosecutors, the judges, and the heartbreaking and strangest moments the job produced — really looked like from the inside, and what his most significant professional experience actually involved: personally escorting Rex Heuermann — the Gilgo Beach serial killer — throughout his arrest, conviction, and sentencing, and what that specific proximity to one of the most disturbing criminal cases in recent New York history actually revealed about the person at the center of it. _____________________________________________ #officer #truecrimestories #court #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Footnotes 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Some witnesses to the text read lawlessness. (“Witnesses to the text” mentioned in footnotes may include Greek manuscripts, lectionaries, translations, and quotations in the church fathers.) 2 Thessalonians 2:8 Some witnesses to the text read slay by.

    On April 6, 1966, hundreds of students and teachers at Westall High School in Melbourne looked up and saw something they were never supposed to forget.A silver object moved over the school in broad daylight. Students chased it toward an area called the Grange. Witnesses described incredible acceleration, strange aircraft apparently following it, and circular disturbances in the grass where the object may have come down.Then the adults arrived.Students say they were questioned and told not to talk. Science teacher Andrew Greenwood later claimed he was threatened after speaking publicly about what he saw. A television crew filmed interviews with students, but that footage can no longer be found in the archive. Several light aircraft reportedly seen around the object were never publicly identified.And the case has only become stranger with time.Researchers have uncovered missing records connected with the secret HIBAL balloon program, testimony concerning a Department of Supply investigation whose private copy was reportedly destroyed, and newer evidence that may seriously weaken the ordinary weather-balloon explanation.Then, in 2026, sixty years after the incident, an Australian Defence Freedom of Information release revealed an internal discussion about renewed attempts to investigate Westall beginning with the words:“Speaking on tin foil hats.”So what happened over Westall?A classified Cold War experiment?A massive misunderstanding involving hundreds of witnesses?Or did a school full of people briefly encounter technology associated with some kind of non-human intelligence?In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we go back through the original 1966 reporting, surviving eyewitness testimony, government records, later discoveries, skeptical explanations and the details that have emerged decades after the event.I lean strongly toward something genuinely anomalous happening over Westall that morning.You can decide what you think.Idiot Mystic is a podcast about the strange edges of reality: UFOs and UAP, non-human intelligence, cryptids, paranormal encounters, mysticism, consciousness, occult history, spirituality, psychology, unexplained events and all the places where those subjects start bleeding into each other.

    Spiritual Authority and Dominion (1) (audio) David Eells, 8/26/26 I want to remind you and encourage you about the difference between using carnal and spiritual dominion. The Bride is maturing and overcoming the flesh, and she's using her dominion over the spiritual host of wickedness and doing warfare against the DS satanists. The Lord says, If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: If any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed … (Rev.13:10). Jesus exercised dominion in His kingdom; not the kind of dominion that some want and false religious leaders have, which glorifies man. Jesus rejected the offer by Satan to be a worldly king with carnal dominion. The Pharisees and Sadducees had a carnal dominion over the people of God. Jesus commanded the people not to do what they did but to obey them because they sat in the seat of Moses. They were given governmental authority much the same way they are today in the church. Jesus exercised dominion over the curse and over Satan's kingdom. He was destroying the works of Satan in the lives of His people. Jesus had spiritual authority, and the people followed Him willingly because they were drawn of the Father, not because they were under the condemnation of the Law. Spiritual authority was necessary to be spiritually and physically fed, healed, and delivered. The apostate religious leaders had no authority like that then, nor do they now. Even though the disciples did not resist their carnal authority, they did resist their attempt to exercise spiritual authority when it was important. They said, “We must obey God rather than men.” When Peter tried to enforce his carnal authority with the sword, Jesus said, … All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword (Mat.26:52). Then, to show that His spiritual authority can, when necessary, dominate the carnal realm, Jesus said, (Mat.26:53) Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? Anyone who has an angel, much less twelve legions, would not need a puny sword for defense. One angel killed 185,000 men to defend Zion. Jesus then makes the point that if He calls the angels to defend His flesh, how would it be crucified? (54) How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be? This is a good principle for us who also must be crucified. According to type, crucifixion does not necessitate the physical death of the body, but the old nature. (Rom.12:1) … Present your bodies a living sacrifice … The body is dead, meaning that it no longer has a will and rights of its own but is devoted to the service of God. In type, just as Jesus sacrificed His literal flesh, we sacrifice the flesh of the old man while we live. We are told that those who try to defend the body by physical force will be killed for their lack of faith. (Rev.13:10) If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. It is also clear here that if a person needs captivity to fulfill in some way their own crucifixion, the sword will not save them. In fact, it will be judgment to them. (Joh.18:36) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews …. Those who wrestle with flesh and blood in disobedience to the Word are not fighting for God's kingdom but the world and the flesh. They are attempting to exercise carnal dominion. Jesus exercised dominion to save God's creation. He did not exercise dominion over people who wanted to put to death His flesh. As He did a few times, we also have permission to flee, for it was not yet His time. That is a type for us. We must go through many things in order to put to death our flesh. That is what the world was created for: to bring us into sanctification through the death of the old man, the flesh. Even while the world around us is spiritually putting us on our cross by insults, injuries, persecutions, slander, etc., we have to cooperate with them by turning the other cheek. We have authority to save, heal, deliver, provide, and die to self. Exercising our dominion is God exercising His sovereignty through us. Jesus exercised dominion, but He personally resisted not the evil by turning the other cheek. While the world was crucifying Him, even before He came to the natural cross, His spiritual man was exercising dominion and delivering His people from the curse.  Sometimes we can get mixed up about when to exercise this dominion and when not. We do not have authority to save the old man. We do not want to keep our old life; we want our new life. Jesus said that unless we lose our life, we would not gain our life. So this authority to exercise dominion that God has given us is the same as Jesus had. This dominion is not to get rich in the world, but it is to have all we need to do God's Will. God gave me my last two houses and cars free, in order for me to do His Will. (Php.4:19) … My God shall supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Dominion is not to live after the lusts of the flesh, as they do in a false, worldly prosperity that encourages and empowers the flesh to live. (1Ti.6:8) But having food and covering we shall be therewith content. (9) But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. Here is a promise to those who are not content but love the things of the world. They will be overcome by lusts, and it will be as impossible for them to enter the Kingdom as it would be for a camel to go through the eye of a needle (Mat.19:24‑26).  Jesus exercised dominion over His flesh when He was going to the cross. He said, “Not my will, but thine, be done.” He gave them authority to crucify His flesh. In the garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus spoke to those who came to take Him, “they went backward, and fell to the ground,” showing that He could stop them if He wanted to save His life, or until it was time to go to the cross. He said in John 10:18, “No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself.” A couple of times, He passed through their midst, apparently translated, because it was not His time to die (Luk.4:30). He had been given authority to save God's people, who believed, and to destroy Satan's kingdom. Our flesh (the carnal man) is part of Satan's kingdom (Rom.8:7). The book of Esther is not only literally true but also a prophetic parable. Haman (the beast) had been given authority by the king (the Lord) to destroy the people of God, while Esther (the bride) had been given authority to save the people of God. The beast and the bride were given opposing authority at the same time by the same king. In type, the beast was given authority to crucify the old man, the carnal nature, and the bride was given authority to bring to life the spiritual man. The king's authority could not be annulled in anything, just as our Lord's authority. Ultimately, the house of the beast was given unto the bride to have authority over it (Est.8:1).  The time will come when God will no longer offer grace to the Gentiles but will return it to Israel. He will permit Christians, at that time, to exercise authority over the people who are trying to kill them. Fire from the Witnesses' mouths destroying their enemies, smiting the earth with every plague, and stopping the rain for 3 ½ years, are examples (Rev.11:5-6). From there to the end, authority will be manifested to destroy the beast's kingdom until this world becomes God's kingdom and He takes control (Rev.11:15). Personal control differs from control by proxy. God runs everything, but He must use vessels of dishonor now (Rom.9:21‑24). The time is coming when He will take control in and through His saints who believe. This dominion is ours as spiritual children of Jesus Christ, but we will grow into it by grace. Dominion starts here in the training grounds but continues for eternity. Here, the Lord teaches us how to be rulers under Him over His creation. (1Co.6:1) Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? (2) Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (3) Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? (4) If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church? (5) I say [this] to move you to shame …. If we have authority to judge fallen angels, how much more do we have authority to judge things in this life? Jesus taught His disciples to pray like this: “Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” The Lord pointed out to me that this is a command that God is putting in our mouth. Some would object that this puts us in the place of commanding God. Look what God said in (Isa.45:11) Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. In effect, what we command when led by the Spirit, He carries out. In Acts 3:6, Peter commands the lame beggar, “What I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” See, we represent Christ. Peter had authority to represent Jesus and to command the curse. When the lame man walked and bystanders were tempted to credit Peter, he said, “Why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk?” (Act.3:12) God's power fulfills what we command in obedience to Him. Our work here is to manifest God's kingdom here on the earth. At the last trump, it will be said in (Rev.11:15) … The kingdom of the world is become [the kingdom] of our Lord, and of his Christ …. Through whom did God bring this to pass? The Bible gives credit to the saints. (Dan.7:26) … The judgment shall be set, and they (the saints) shall take away his (the beast) dominion, to consume and destroy it unto the end. (27) And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High …. The saints, by God's grace, shall exercise dominion to end the beast's dominion. God gave dominion unto Samson even in his ignorance. What was the secret of Samson's power? Judges tells us that the secret was his long hair, and as soon as he lost his long hair, he lost his power. Samson was not a big, muscle‑bound man. In Judges 16:17, he told Delilah, “If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” His enemies wanted to know the secret of his power. They were not asking, “How did you get such big muscles?” That did not occur to them. It is not because of our great ability, or power, or wisdom, or even sinlessness, but through what Jesus did at the cross that we have this authority to reign over sin and its curse. Samson reigned over the enemies of God's people. When Samson lost his submission to God, he lost his dominion. In 1 Corinthians 11:3‑16, the long hair was given unto the woman as a sign of submission to her husband. The Bride submits to the Lord, Who is our husband. The one who took the Nazarite vow, as Samson did, could not cut his hair as a sign of submission. The point is that this great dominion was given to Samson, and he lost it because he lost his hair, a sign of his submission to the Lord.  Nazarites were separated from the world by their submission unto the Lord, signified by their long hair. (Num.6:5) All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. This separation by submission is the meaning of holiness. How did Samson lose his holiness and power? (Jdg.16:19) And she (Delilah) made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. Samson went to sleep, spiritually meaning he no longer had his eyes open to the light of the truth. He submitted his head, or mind in the lap of the harlot Delilah and lost his hair (submission, separation, holiness) and consequently his power or dominion. The moral of that story is that we should not let the harlot have our mind, for then we will have no power of dominion. The religious systems of man, the harlot, have deprived God's people of their power because they are not submitted to the Word of God. (2Ti.3:5) Holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away. The “bride” in the Song of Solomon was a prophetic parable of the sojourning of the Bride today, who temporarily lost her submission. (Son.5:7) The watchmen (or ministers) that go about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls (denominations or sects) took away my mantle (Hebrew: “veil”) from me. The watchmen are identified by the Lord as shepherds (Hebrew: “pastors”) in Isaiah 56:10‑12. These pastors, in trying to keep the Bride within their sectarian walls, smote her and took away her veil, which is also a sign of submission to her husband, the Lord. (1Co.11:3) … The head of the woman is the man … (5) But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head … (10) for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head … (13) Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? False shepherds have made the people of God submissive to religions rather than Christ as it was in Jesus' day.  In a true type to our day, the Bride in vain sought her beloved first in the broad ways of Babylonish religion. (Son.3:2) [I said], I will rise now, and go about the city (Babylon); In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. (She sought Him from the false shepherds whose loyalty was to themselves and their own kingdom.) (3) The watchmen that go about the city found me; [To whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? (It was not until she was delivered from them that she found the one whom her soul sought.) (4) It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, (In her excitement she wanted to share Him with those among whom she was first conceived and birthed.) Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. The other daughters of that corporate mother did not share her excitement for her peculiar beloved. (5:9) What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so adjure us? Because of her not being content with “another Jesus,” she was not defiled with the religions of these other daughters and was chosen by her Lord. (6:9) My dove, my undefiled, is [but] one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed …. She regained her dominion when she became undefiled with the women representing the false religious systems. Those who bear fruit will walk in the holiness of her steps, not being defiled with the seed (word) of men, for they are spiritual virgins. (Rev.14:4) These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. The sects of Christianity have become defiled with what Paul warned in 2 Corinthians 11:4, “Another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different Gospel, which ye did not accept.” (2Co.6:17) Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you. Only the Word is the truth that sets free. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Jesus calls His sheep out of the fold of apostate religion to “follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.” (Joh.10:3) … He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (4) When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (5) And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This little flock that follows the Lord in rest is what the bride sought for. (Son.1:7) Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest [it] to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions? The veil in this case represents the blindness and bondage of submission to religion. (2Co.3:15) But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart. (16) But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (17) Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty. (18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory …. As we can see, those who are unveiled of the legalism of religion see the Lord and come into His likeness. The beloved Lord's answer to “Where thou feedest [thy flock]?” was (Son.1:8) If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. In Jesus' day, it was not possible to feed His Church, meaning “called-out ones,” in the apostate sects of Judaism, so He fed them “beside the shepherds' tents.” Likewise, because the Church has greatly apostatized in our day, Jesus is feeding the flock of freedom, rest, and truth, outside the shepherds' tents. This brought reproach to the bride and Jesus. (6) … My mother's sons were incensed against me …. Those who take up their cross to follow Jesus are commanded to accept this same reproach. (Heb.13:11) For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest [as an offering] for sin, are burned without the camp. (12) Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. (13) Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.  Moses, in a true type of Christ, led his people out of the camp of the rebellious apostates. (Exo.33:7) Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought the Lord went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp. It is in these days that thundering judgments will put the fear of God in those in the camp to come out and meet with the “called‑out ones” on the true mountain of God's Kingdom. (Exo. 19:15) And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not near a woman (apostate sect). (16) And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning (the beginning of the third day millennium since the last Adam – where we are now [2 Pet.3:8]), that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled. (17) And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. If you have discovered that you have been following man's religions and decide to repent, God will restore your dominion. While in bondage to the Philistines, Samson repented, and his hair began to grow. His dominion returned and he brought down their false temple upon their heads. (Jdg.16:30) And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than they that he slew in his life. Likewise, as we die to self, we increase in dominion over our enemies. Few who ever exercised dominion in the earth for God were manifestly perfect, including Samson. He refused the dominion of the Lord over himself, and he ultimately lost the dominion that he had over the earth. It is not necessary for God to take away the promises of dominion from the rebellious. Their own heart will not have the faith to partake of it. (1Jn.3:21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. If we do not serve God, our own heart will condemn us, and we will have no faith to exercise dominion. He is still not speaking of manifestly perfect people here, but He does expect us to be disciples, walking in the light that we have. In this way, we are perfect by faith until we manifest perfection. The baby Christian has little knowledge of good and evil, but he is innocent in God's eyes if he is doing what he knows to do. Baby Christians have dominion over sin and the curse, but not over God's people. I have shared this revelation before, but years ago, I had a dream instructing me about the way in which God promotes some to leadership positions over His people. I am making no claims for myself with this dream, merely pointing out principles. In this dream, there were two mountains. (The first mountain represents the kingdom of the world, Babylon, and the second mountain represents the Kingdom of God, Mount Zion.) I was driving a car down the first steep mountain. (This represents humbling ourselves to the Word [Isa.40:4], becoming as a child [Mat.18:4], and losing our carnal life in this world [Mat.16:25-26].) The road that descended this mountain had a trench going down the center of it to the bottom. My car had one set of tires on one side of the trench while the other set was on the other side. I could not turn right or left without falling into the trench and, of course, halting my progress. (Joshua received instructions similar to this for taking the Promised Land. (Jos.1:7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Turning to the right or to the left symbolizes getting off the narrow road of Scripture. It will stop us from exercising authority to take our promised land, which symbolizes living on the promises.) At the bottom of this hill, I got out of the car. I sensed that I had many enemies. (The more we humble ourselves to God's Word, the more enemies we will have, both in the carnal church and the world, just as our Lord.) Then I found, hidden under a bush, some tools like hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches, which were drenched in oil. (The burning bush is where Moses received authority to deliver God's people from bondage. These tools all bind and loose, as does God's authority given to His disciples (Mat.18:18). The promises of the Word are the binding and loosing keys to the Kingdom of God that were given to disciples. The oil signifies the power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, if we stay in the straight and narrow way, we will receive authority to bind and loose for God.) From there, I turned to the right (The sheep are set on the right [Mat.25:33].) and went up a steep mountain. (Going down the first mountain entitles us to go up the next. Being humbled in the estimation of the world makes us great in the estimation of the Kingdom. The last shall be first, and the least shall be greatest. (Isa.40:3) … Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the Lord … (4) Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low …. The way of the Lord is that those who are humble in the world shall be promoted on God's mountain, but those who are exalted on the worldly mountain will have to come down.) (Jas.4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.) Reaching the top of the mountain, I went through the door of an immense palace. (Joh.10:2) But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. (7) Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (Jesus is the only Shepherd of the sheep. He uses vessels that come to the sheep only through Him, the Door. This palace represents the New Jerusalem on Mount Zion, the city that rules over God's people.) Old Jerusalem ruled over God's physical letter people just as New Jerusalem rules over God's spiritual New Testament people. Paul declared that we have come to this spiritual city. He showed us that it is not a physical city that can be touched. (Heb.12:18) For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched … (22) but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem … (23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn …. (Jesus' called-out ones come to this mountain. Our journey is to come to this mountain, climb it, and enter the throne room through the Door.)  Then I saw Jesus, the Son of David, sitting on the throne of David. I walked over and sat down next to Him, and we talked. (The throne is the place of dominion that the bride has next to her King.) (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. All who overcome the stubbornness of their evil heart, to abide in the Name of Jesus, will come to this throne. (Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations (of the mostly Gentile Church) shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart. (All who overcome the first mountain of the world will live on the second mountain of the Kingdom of God. These act in “the name of the Lord” because they are seated in the throne of authority with Jesus.  This position has been given to all who are born again, but many have turned to the right or left and do not take their rightful position by abiding in Christ.) (Eph.2:5) Even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), (6) and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus. As I talked with Jesus, I heard a noise behind me and turned to see some men trying to climb up into the throne room through a rear window. Jesus said, “Don't worry about them; they can't come in here.” (Obviously, the position of authority may be usurped in Babylon but not in Zion, God's mountain and kingdom.) (Joh.10:1) … He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. Jesus, speaking of the apostate ministers of His day, said, “All that came before me are thieves and robbers” (Joh.10:8); and so it is today. Many have stolen the position of authority by not going down the road of humbling themselves to the Word and entering through the Door of Christ. They have robbed the sheep of gifted mentors. They have robbed the sheep of Christ, for ministers can only pass on what they are. Religion has historically made the same mistake. They mistake education in a sect of Christianity to be God's authority and commission. The disciples were perceived to be unlearned and ignorant by the religious leaders (Act. 4:13). However, the religious leaders knew that the disciples had been with Jesus by their gifts. Faith, fruit, maturity, submission to the Lord, and personal knowledge of the Lord and His ways must be passed on to the sheep. Ministers cannot pass on what they do not possess themselves. The daughter harlots (Rev.17:5) are still mass producing hirelings (Joh.10:12-13; Isa.56:9-12); but Jesus comes to lead His sheep out of the Babylonish sheepfolds of men (Joh.10:3-4) so that, unhindered by the traditions of men, they may run after Him. A man must be an elder in experience and maturity in the Word to be promoted as a bishop (overseer) over God's people (1Ti.3:1-7; Tit.1:5-9). A friend dreamed about Christians as babies with beards, showing they had been with the Lord for many years but were still immature. God's people have loved the world, so He has given them immature apostate leaders to tell them what they want to hear. (Isa.3:4) And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. (5) And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable. (Choose the man with the gift over the man with the title.) (2Ti.4:3) For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; (4) and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

[2] Thanksgiving for the Faith of the Thessalonians 2 We always give thanks to God for all of you as we make mention of you in our prayers, 3 because we constantly remember before God our Father your work produced by faith, your labor produced by love, and your patient endurance produced by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 Dear brothers, [3] loved by God, we know that God has chosen you, 5 because our gospel did not come to you with mere words, but with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. You yourselves know very well what kind of people we proved to be for your sake, while we were with you. 6 You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you welcomed the word during a time of great affliction with the joy from the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. [4] 8 Indeed, the word of the Lord has resounded from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything, 9 because they themselves inform us about what kind of reception we received from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 10 They also report how you patiently wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, the one who is going to rescue us from the coming wrath.

    In this incredibly powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Ray, a 60-year-old former third-generation Jehovah's Witness who shares his dramatic journey out of a high-control system. Though he successfully faded from the religion in his early twenties to live a vibrant life in San Francisco as a hair stylist, Ray made the decision to return at age 30, seeking a "safe" and community-centered environment to raise a family. Over the next two decades, Ray ran a highly popular Modesto hair salon, operating as a self-described "publisher seat warmer" who managed to avoid congregational duties—going door-to-door only once in 22 years of marriage—while simultaneously organizing active youth groups and building a warm, social haven in his own backyard. However, the safe facade crumbled when Ray allowed himself to deconstruct the doctrines. He spent over $10,000 on rare, historical Watchtower literature, keeping the boxes hidden in his hair salon office where he stayed up late verifying the organization's chronological errors and historical cover-ups. This forbidden research led to a grueling eight-hour judicial committee for apostasy where his closest friends and barber-chair clients testified against him, followed by a tragic, unnecessary family loss under the strict blood transfusion doctrine. Ultimately forced to fake a moral transgression using "theocratic warfare" just to free his wife for an unscriptural divorce, Ray hit rock bottom before finding true autonomy. Today, Ray shares how he reclaimed his identity at age 60, ran marathons, and built an authentic, chosen family based on genuine, unconditional love. Key Takeaways The $10,000 Secret Library: To prove to himself whether "the truth" was actually true, Ray ordered and hid tubs of old Watchtower publications, Rutherford books, and historical files in his salon office to verify the organization's shifting prophetic timelines (like 1914, 1925, and 1975). An Eight-Hour Inquisition: When the elders caught wind of his questioning, they subjected him to a marathon eight-hour trial where his lifelong friends and hair clients testified that brief, five-minute salon chats had "shook their faith". The Lethal Blood Transfusion Doctrine: Ray shares the devastating, heartbreaking loss of his 22-year-old nephew, a promising young musician who tragically died of a treatable chest tumor after his family adhered to the organization's ban on blood transfusions. A "Theocratic Warfare" Trap: Desperate to give his pioneering wife scriptural grounds for divorce without destroying her spiritual standing, Ray faked a one-night-stand confession, only for the elders to ignore his "repentance loop" and disfellowship him in just 20 minutes. Unconditional Love and a Jumbotron Proposal: Despite calling the suicide hotline twice during his lowest points, Ray successfully deconstructed. He is now thriving alongside his partner Destiny (also an ex-JW) and planning a surprise proposal on the San Francisco Giants' Jumbotron. Direct Quotes "When you find out that the truth is not the truth, the only thing to compare it to is finding out your mom's not your real mom." "Leaving a cult is a new beginning on a path to healing, not some magical end itself." "I just want to be the best dad, the best husband, the best son… and just make this time count." Resources Mentioned Santos Bonacci's "Astrotheology and the Bible" (Two-hour video that heavily triggered Ray's biblical deconstruction).

    The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses over fourteen days at Plymouth Superior Court. Under cross-examination, the witnesses who personally knew Lindsay Clancy all described the same person: a wonderful, nurturing mother who always wanted a family. Patrick Clancy said it on the stand. Her friends confirmed it. Former co-workers echoed it. The defense didn't need to call a single character witness.The defense's forensic psychologist testified that Lindsay told him a male voice ordered her to kill her children, and that she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of what she did. Her hospital records from days after the killings list “critically ill, postpartum psychosis.” A hospital psychiatrist testified she appeared calm and cooperative during the same period.Lindsay's mother told the jury that her daughter said the medication was destroying her mind and begged for help. The prosecution's cross-examination response was to ask why the family didn't intervene more aggressively.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates what the prosecution left this jury with and whether it's enough.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Bryan Kohberger's defense and prosecutors both opposed an effort by attorney Shanon Gray, who represented Kaylee Goncalves' family, to escape the sweeping gag order imposed early in the case. Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall had initially barred prosecutors, defense lawyers, law enforcement and others involved in the prosecution from making public statements, and later expanded the restriction to attorneys representing victims, witnesses and their families. Gray challenged that expansion as unconstitutionally broad and vague, arguing that the Goncalves family members themselves were not parties to the criminal case and remained free to speak publicly, so he should likewise be permitted to relay their views to the media. Prosecutor Bill Thompson pushed back by stressing that members of the Goncalves family were potential witnesses at trial or sentencing, giving the court a legitimate interest in limiting statements that could affect the proceedings.Kohberger's defense also opposed Gray's appeal and argued that the gag order was neither vague nor unconstitutional. Defense attorney Jay Logsdon maintained that courts had long been permitted to restrict extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their attorneys when necessary to protect a defendant's right to a fair trial. He also pointed out that the Goncalves family itself remained free to express its own opinions publicly, meaning Gray did not need a special exemption simply to communicate their views. The dispute became part of the much larger battle over publicity surrounding the case, with Kohberger's lawyers repeatedly arguing that the enormous and often sensational media coverage threatened to poison the jury pool. The central conflict therefore pitted the family's and media's First Amendment interests against Kohberger's constitutional right to an impartial jury, with both the prosecution and defense arguing that Gray's role as counsel for potential witnesses justified keeping him within the court's restrictions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

    A three-and-a-half-hour epic can be gorgeous and still leave you arguing in the parking lot. That's exactly what happened after we watched Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, so we sat down for a full roundtable review with Jeremy, Michael, Mario Andrew, and James St. Simon to sort out what we loved, what we questioned, and what the film might be saying underneath the spectacle.[CONTAINS SPOILERS]• quick ratings and first reactions from readers and non-readers of Homer• whether an adaptation can be judged apart from its source material• why characterization matters more than plot changes• casting choices that distract from ancient Greece and break suspension of disbelief• the medium problem of turning an oral epic into a nonlinear film narrative• pacing, structure, and why a trilogy might help or hurt• the removal of the gods and the shift toward a secular psychological journey• an Orthodox Christian way to “take the nectar” from Greek myth• virtue themes, fidelity, and why the love story feels cleaner on screen• standout scenes like the sirens motif, the dog recognition, the Trojan horse claustrophobia, and “people from the sea”• Athena's beheading image, war guilt, justice, and the Dark Knight question of who carries the costWe start with honest first impressions from both Odyssey readers and people seeing the story fresh. Then we dig into the hardest question any film adaptation faces: can you evaluate it as a stand-alone movie when the source material is one of the pillars of Western literature? Along the way, we compare what works in beloved adaptations like The Lord of the Rings with what fails when writing and characterization drift too far. We also talk about pacing, Nolan's nonlinear storytelling, and why some viewers feel the film is rushed while others feel locked in the whole time.The biggest friction point is authenticity and immersion. We debate casting choices, modern cultural incentives, and why even a strong performance can break the spell when you keep noticing the actor instead of the character. From there we move into the deeper critique: the film's largely secular approach. Homer's Odyssey is infused with the gods, cosmic order, and reverence, but Nolan's version leans toward psychological guilt, war scars, and the modern theme that “the enemy is us.” As a Christian podcast, we ask what that shift costs, and how an Orthodox Christian approach can still “take the nectar” from Greek literature, pulling out virtue while leaving the rest.If you care about Christopher Nolan films, Homer's Odyssey, Greek mythology, or the moral questions around war, justice, and homecoming, this conversation is for you.

    On September 2, 1990, something extraordinary was reportedly witnessed over Megaplatanos in central Greece. Multiple witnesses described a formation of mysterious lights crossing the night sky before one object allegedly separated from the group, changed color, lost altitude, and crashed into a wooded hillside.But according to the witnesses, the story didn't end with the crash.Several of the other mysterious objects reportedly returned to the area and remained above the crash site for hours. Witnesses claimed they saw strange lights moving between the ground and the objects, leading some UFO researchers to speculate that they were witnessing an extraterrestrial search-and-recovery operation.The following morning, villagers reportedly discovered a burned area, damaged trees and alleged physical fragments at the site. Greek authorities reportedly became involved, while conventional explanations including a meteor, satellite debris or other atmospheric phenomena were considered.So what really happened at Megaplatanos?Was this a UFO crash and recovery operation—making it the closest Greek equivalent to the famous Roswell UFO incident—or was there a more conventional explanation?In this episode of UFO WARNING, we examine the witness testimony, the reported crash, the mysterious objects that allegedly returned to the site, the physical evidence claims, the involvement of Greek authorities, and the unanswered questions surrounding one of Greece's most famous UFO cases.

    The investigations into Jeffrey Epstein have repeatedly followed the same frustrating pattern: explosive revelations, promises of transparency, new subpoenas, newly unsealed records, and then another institutional dead end. Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement shut down what could have become a much broader federal conspiracy case, while his 2019 arrest briefly reopened the possibility that prosecutors might finally examine the full network around him. His death ended the criminal case against him personally, and although Ghislaine Maxwell was later prosecuted and convicted, the government never turned that case into a sweeping investigation of the financiers, recruiters, facilitators, employees, professional advisers, and powerful associates who moved through Epstein's world. Civil litigation, congressional inquiries, investigative journalism, bank settlements, document releases, and survivor testimony have continued to expose pieces of the machinery around him, but those revelations have rarely translated into additional criminal accountability.Year after year, the Epstein story therefore seems to advance without ever truly arriving anywhere. Authorities obtain records but release only portions of them. Witnesses are identified but many are never publicly shown to have faced meaningful scrutiny. Financial institutions pay enormous settlements without admitting criminal wrongdoing, while questions surrounding Epstein's money, international relationships, recruitment system, travel network, and potential co-conspirators remain only partially answered. Even when new evidence emerges, the public is often given another narrow slice of the story rather than a comprehensive accounting of how Epstein operated for decades and who helped make that possible. The result has been an investigation that appears permanently trapped between disclosure and accountability: enough information comes out to demonstrate that Epstein did not operate in isolation, yet the larger machinery surrounding him continues to hit the same wall of secrecy, institutional caution, fragmented jurisdiction, and unanswered questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    A drink can be out of your sight for only a moment, but that may be all it takes for someone to tamper with it. Spiking can happen in bars, restaurants, festivals, and even among people who already know and trust each other. It also goes far beyond alcohol. Drinks, food, vapes, cigarettes, and other substances can be altered without someone's knowledge, leaving them vulnerable before they fully understand what is happening. Dawn Dines has spent more than 20 years working to change how people understand and respond to spiking. She is the founder and CEO of Stamp Out Spiking, a UK charity focused on education, prevention, training, and better safeguarding practices. Her work has helped bring spiking into the public conversation and pushed for stronger laws, better training, and more support for people who have experienced it. Dawn talks about the experiences that led her into this work and what she has learned from victims over the years. She explains some of the signs that a person may have been spiked, why it can be so difficult to know exactly what happened, and what friends or staff can do when someone suddenly seems far more intoxicated than they should be. She also shares practical ways people can look out for each other while still going out and enjoying themselves. Show Notes: [00:44] Dawn Dines shares how her 20-year campaign against spiking helped push for changes to UK law. [02:18] Spiking can involve drinks, food, vapes, cigarettes, and even needles, not just alcoholic beverages. [04:27] Dawn recalls two frightening experiences while traveling that showed her how easily someone could be drugged without their knowledge. [07:32] She explains why she continued campaigning despite years of resistance and how public pressure helped bring greater attention to the issue. [10:41] Spiking affects both men and women, and Dawn describes how widespread the problem has become around the world. [13:37] Victims may struggle to understand what happened, especially when friends or family assume they simply drank too much. [16:35] Dawn explains how quickly symptoms can develop and why getting to a trusted person immediately can make a difference. [19:54] Education can help hospitality workers, security teams, and the public recognize when someone's behavior changes suddenly. [23:06] Victim blaming, embarrassment, and memory loss are among the reasons many incidents are never reported. [26:58] Bars and restaurants can reduce risk through staff training, drink covers, safety information, and clear procedures for helping customers. [28:41] Dawn discusses the growing awareness of spiking and why cooperation across countries, venues, and law enforcement matters. [31:48] Witnesses, security footage, recovered substances, and quick reporting can all help investigators build a case. [34:18] Dawn encourages people to stay vigilant and look out for one another without allowing the threat of spiking to stop them from enjoying their lives. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

    A six week jury trial is about to get underway in California, which could pose the biggest threat yet to Meta's operations. A coalition of US states have accused the parent company of Facebook and Instagram of putting profits ahead of children's safety, by deliberately designing platforms to be addictive to young users. A Meta spokesperson said the claims were "unsubstantiated", and the company stood by its record of creating strong protection for teenagers. The states are seeking upwards of $1 trillion from Meta.

    Tuesday, 18 August 2026   Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' Matthew 22:9   “You go, therefore, upon the ‘through-departures, the roads', and as many, if you should find, you call to the nuptials.” (CG)   The previous verse noted that the king said to his servants that the nuptial was ready, but that those who had been invited weren't worthy. Because of this, Jesus continues, saying, “You go, therefore, upon the ‘through-departures, the roads'.”   This is a word found only here in Scripture, diexodos. It is derived from dia, through, and exodos, a departure (sometimes figuratively, as in death). The word signifies a way out through, such as an outlet. One could think of a modern indoor shopping mall where one goes through it to come to a way out. Thus, you traverse a distance in order to exit.   In the case of what is being conveyed, the focus has been transferred away from Jerusalem and, indeed, all of Israel. The city has been burned (verse 7), those who had been called were not worthy (verse 8), and so the gospel is now going into foreign lands. Where there are gatherings of people, be it on a country road, a small town, or a bustling city, one must go through in order to continue on, as if the whole world is a giant shopping mall of human souls.   Following the travels of Paul and those with him in the book of Acts will show this process. As he arrived in a city, he would begin the process, usually starting at the synagogue. They would normally quickly harass him, be found unworthy, and then he would press on with the saving message of the gospel to the Gentiles he encountered –   “Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, ‘It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us: “I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.”' 48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.” Acts 13:46-48   This process of going to the through-departures has continued on for over two thousand years as people walk, bike, take cars, trains, ships, and airplanes in order to go from one place to the next. Airports are like their own through-departures as a person gets off one plane coming in from Sarasota, Florida, through-departures in Atlanta, through-departures again in Detroit to Japan, and through-departures again to Iligan City in the Philippines.   As people traverse these airports, if they are industrious, they will blanket the airport with tracts about Jesus (be sure to give one to the lady at the coffee stand!). And why is this done? Because it is the commission of sharing the gospel, reflected in Jesus' next words, “and as many, if you should find, you call to the nuptials.”   The word has gone out. There is a Redeemer, and He has come to bring people from all languages, cultures, races, and locations to Himself through the sharing of the good news.   Life application: Why is it so important that you share the gospel? The reason is that if you don't, the people you come in contact with may never hear the saving message of Jesus. John 3:18 tells us that all people are “condemned already.” We don't need to do a thing to wind up in the Lake of Fire. That is our default position. If not you, then who?   And more, it should be taken as an axiom that Satan is doing his best to frustrate the going forth of the true gospel. One way that happens is by sending out his minions with false gospels. And they are diligent to get their word out. The annoying Jehovah's Witnesses who come to your door are doing Satan's bidding, stealing away souls from coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus.   The Mormons... they have a worldwide organization set up to share the wrong news, plant false churches, and lead people down the path to perdition. They are effective in getting their false gospel out, and they are motivated to do so. Most cults are. When you have to perform in order to participate, you are normally highly motivated to act.   Instead, Jesus trusts that those who have been deeply touched by the grace of the gospel will be willing to open their mouths and speak. Be a part of what is presented by Jesus in Matthew 22:0. He gave this parable as a revelation of what would be happening in the world after Israel turned their collective back on their Messiah. Now, it is our job to let the world see the glory of the Christ of the nations. If not you, then who?   Lord God, may we diligently go forth to the through-departures of the world, spreading the good news of Jesus Christ as we do. Be it a shopping mall, an airport, or a large city, whatever we are passing through, help us to remember to be about sharing this wonderful release from sin, which leads to restoration with You. Amen.

    They look like lost children… until you see their eyes — and realize you've just opened the door to something inhuman.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/dontlettheminREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yath5y6wFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Described as childlike beings with eerie coal black eyes, no iris or pupils, and pale, white skin, a scourge of mysterious black-eyed children have been reported all over the world. There are hundreds of reports of black-eyed children, often seen in groups of two or more, who ask for permission to enter the person's home or vehicle. Witnesses often report an overwhelming feeling of dread and despair in their presence. What the black-eyed children seek is not known… nor is it known exactly what they are. (Invasion Of The Black Eyed Kids) *** In October of 1943, a U.S. Navy destroyer was supposedly turned invisible and teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk. But did it really happen? (The Truth Behind The Philadelphia Experiment) *** The Witchcraft Act of 1735 ended the gruesome practice of burning witches at the stake, making it illegal to accuse anyone of having magical powers. Yet in 1944, Helen Duncan was convicted under this very law for fraudulent spiritual activities. Despite her claims of contacting spirits through ectoplasm and even revealing classified naval secrets, she was sentenced to prison. Her trial was one of the last times the Witchcraft Act was used before being replaced in 1951, but her supporters continue to campaign for her pardon. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Once a powerful festival, Dies Sanguinis, or "Day of Blood," honored the Roman goddess of war, Bellona, with animal sacrifices and martial rituals. The festival showcased Rome's military strength and dedication to victory. Although the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire eventually ended the festival, its legacy still sheds light on the fascinating nature of ancient Roman culture. (Rome's Day of the Bloody Sacrifice) *** The Dardeen family was found brutally murdered in their home near Ina, Illinois, leaving residents and investigators stumped. Yet even after a confession by Tommy Lynn Sells, the truth is still a mystery.
